CALL FOR PAPERS
Journal of Functional Programming
Special Issue on Haskell
Since its inception in 1987, Haskell has provided a focal point for
research in lazy functional programming. During this time the
language has continually evolved, as a result of both theoretical
advances and practical experience. Haskell has proved to be a
powerful tool for many kinds of programming tasks, and applications in
industry are beginning to emerge. The recent definition of Haskell 98
provides a long-awaited stable version of the language, but there are
many exciting possibilities for future versions of Haskell.
The fourth Haskell Workshop will be held as part of the PLI 2000
colloquium on Principles, Logics, and Implementations of high-level
programming languages in Montreal, 17th September 2000. Previous
Haskell Workshops have been held in Paris (1999), Amsterdam (1997) and
La Jolla (1995). Following on from these workshops, a special issue
of the Journal of Functional Programming will be devoted to Haskell.
Possible topics include, but are not limited to:
Critiques of Haskell 98;
New proposals for Haskell;
Applications or case studies;
Programming techniques;
Reasoning about programs;
Semantic issues;
Pedagogical issues;
Implementation.
Contributors to any of the Haskell workshops are invited to submit
full papers to the special issue on Haskell, but submission is open to
everyone. Submissions should be emailed as a plain postscript file to
the guest editor (address below) by the deadline of 1st February 2001.
The use of the JFP Latex style file for submissions is encouraged.
For other submission details, please consult an issue of the Journal
of Functional Programming or see the Journal's web pages.
